From their licensing: "You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or indirectly, to revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people."

I imagine that applies to many of us. How many people are looking to use Obsidian purely for personal use?

The overwhelming majority, if the Obsidian message boards are anything to go by.

I wouldn't want to use a product that only now reached v1.0, for a business. It's not Figma, or a Google Docs type app where corporate use cases are very apparent. At best, Obsidian would be good for a knowledgebase, but there are better wiki tools out there for that.

Obsidian does personal knowledge management best, because of its customizability.

That's cool to know. It's definitely not what I expected! I made the assumption a markdown-based tool would primarily be used amongst tech workers for tech-related knowledge. All that being said, the cost for a license is nothing compared to other tools I use daily like JetBrains products.

$50/user/yr is about $4/mo.

I struggle to understand the mentality that deems that unreasonable. It'd be a bargain at 5x the price.

This is the reason I don't even try it. I would never be able to get my company to pay for a software that's not in our catalog, regardless of the price.
